David Martindale says he is hopeful but pragmatic after keeping their survival bid alive
Hope still exists in the faintest of forms for Livingston in their battle to escape relegation thanks to a determined 2-0 win over Motherwell, leading to manager David Martindale praising his Lions side for their “intensity, application and ability.”
"We only have ourselves to blame but we dug out three points and that’s all you can do. It’s how I’ve operated at Livi for the last eight years. "The one negative is we could have dealt better with the counter. We exposed them on the counter but went for the wrong execution. But our intensity, application and ability was there for all to see and that’s testament to the players.”
The home side were awarded a penalty just after the restart as Michee Efete was ruled to have handled in the box. Sean Kelly had no hesitation firing his spot kick past the flailing Laidlaw.
